NORWALK, Conn., June 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Kick starting the summer season, Reeds Inc. (NASDAQ: REED), Americas #1 ginger company, is excited to announce the launch of two new, zero sugar Really REAL Ginger Ale Mocktails - Shirley Tempting and Transfusion. Packed with 2,000 mg of fresh, organic pressed ginger, the new flavors bring a REAL ginger twist to the classic beverages, just in time for the warmer weather.

With zero calories, these refreshing Certified Ketogenic varieties are the perfect addition to every drinking occasion this summer, from the beach, to the golf course and backyard BBQs. Whether they are enjoyed straight from the can as a mocktail, or mixed up in a delicious cocktail, the new flavors balance a refreshingly crisp ginger taste with a splash of sweetness:

-- Zero Sugar Shirley Tempting delivers a cheerful mix of cherry and pomegranate flavors for a zero sugar, zero calorie take on this beloved beverage for the whole family, and it is keto certified! -- Zero Sugar Transfusion is enhanced with juicy grape notes for a refreshing taste that stands alone or perfectly complements as an easy mixer that is zero calories and keto certified.

Responding to the heightened demand for better-for-you mocktails with fun flavors, Reeds is extending its Really REAL Ginger Ale line. Ready-to-drink or ready-to-mix, New! Shirley Tempting and Transfusion deliver classic flavor, zero sugar and contain no artificial preservatives or artificial colors. Like all of Reeds products, the new flavors are all-natural and are made with REAL ginger, and lots of it.

As consumer interest continues to surge for non-alcoholic beverage options, we are seizing the momentum and delivering a whole new ginger experience, shared Norman E. Snyder, CEO of Reeds Inc. Our new line of mocktails now provides consumers a tasty and healthy alternative.

The portfolio expansion with Shirley Tempting and Transfusion is a testament to the brands leadership position in the ginger ale category, as it follows an overwhelmingly positive response for Reeds REALLY REAL Ginger Ale from customers and retailers alike over the past year.
